If you go to the details page for a product and click on the "Procurements" tab, you'll see a list labeled "Suppliers". Looking at the XML for the page, the only field I can see in this location is "seller_ids". However, the list also shows "Delivery Lead Time" and "Minimal Quantity". Are these fields somehow contained within "seller_ids", like an array? I can't find any other views that add the other fields. I would like to add "Product Name" and "Product Code" to the list. I believe all of the fields are in the "product.supplierinfo" model. How do I go about this?

If you check out addons/product/product.py, you'll see that 'seller_ids' is a one2many field pointing to 'product.supplierinfo' from 'product_id'. If you search for product.supplierinfo in addons/product/product_view.xml there are two records that reference it, "product_supplierinfo_form_view" and "product_supplierinfo_tree_view". The first of these is the the one that pops up when you click "Add an item" under suppliers, the second is the table that you are trying to edit. It looks like this:

So what you'd have to do here is create a new module, inherit the "product_supplierinfo_tree_view" by using <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.product_supplierinfo_tree_view">, then add your fields using something like:

Thanks for the detailed answer, Alex! I will try it out as soon as I get a chance. I think I saw that view when I was looking around, but don't remember seeing the other fields. Maybe it was a different one.

Awesome, it works! I had searched for 'seller_ids' in product_view.xml, but it shows up somewhere else, not in the view to inherit. I didn't understand the connection made from the definition of 'seller_ids' in product.py to the view with the fields. I have a little better understanding of it now, but probably still not a total grasp. Thanks again!
